CAUTION: By clearing trouble codes you also clear the readiness status for the individual emission system readiness tests. In order to reset these monitors, the vehicle must be driven through a complete drive cycle with no trouble codes in memory. Times for reset vary depending on vehicle.

Some latest vehicle models may support two types of I/M Readiness tests: A. Since DTCs Cleared - indicates status of the monitors since the DTCs

are erased.

B. This Drive Cycle - indicates status of monitors since the beginning of

the current drive cycle.

An I/M Readiness Status result of “NO” does not necessarily indicate that the vehicle being tested will fail the state I/M inspection. For some states, one or more such monitors may be allowed to be “Not Ready” to pass the emissions inspection.

 OK – Indicates that a particular monitor being checked has completed

its diagnostic testing.

 INC – Indicates that a particular monitor being checked has not

completed its diagnostic testing.

 N/A – The monitor is not supported on that vehicle.

1) Use the UP/DOWN scroll button to select I/M Readiness from Diagnostic Menu and press OK button.

2) Wait a few seconds while the scan tool validates the PID MAP.

9 SAS Calibration

Steering Angle Sensor Calibration permanently stores the current

steering wheel position as the straight-ahead position in the steering angle sensor EEPROM. Therefore, the front wheels and the steering wheel must be set exactly to the straight-ahead position before calibration. In addition, the vehicle identification number is also read from the instrument cluster and stored permanently in the steering angle sensor EEPROM. On successful completion of calibration, the steering angle sensor fault memory is automatically cleared.

Calibration must always be carried out after the following operations:

 Steering wheel replacement  Steering angle sensor replacement  Any maintenance that involves opening the connector hub from the

steering angle sensor to the column

 Any maintenance or repair work on the steering linkage, steering gear

or other related mechanism

 Wheel alignment or wheel track adjustment  Accident repairs where damage to the steering angle sensor or

assembly, or any part of the steering system may have occurred

NOTE

1. Autel accepts no responsibility for any accident or injury arising from servicing the SAS system. When interpreting DTCs retrieved from the vehicle, always follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for repair.

3. Before starting procedure, make sure vehicle has ESC. Look for button on dash.

Take Toyota as an example. While performing the Zero Point Calibration on Toyota vehicles, do not tilt,

move or shake the vehicle. The vehicle must remain in a stationary condition throughout the entire process. Be sure to perform the procedure on a level surface with an inclination of less than 1%.

10 DPF Service

DPF Safety

The DPF function allows you to carry out numerous functions on the Diesel Particulate Filter system without having to send the car to a main dealer. The tool will retrieve/erase DPF-related codes, reset the DPF light after the filter has been replaced, micromanage the injection rate, and burn off collected particles when a maximum fill level is reached by performing a static /dynamic regeneration.

ECM monitors driving style and selects a suitable time to employ regeneration. Cars driven a lot at idling speed and low load will attempt to regenerate earlier than cars driven more with high loads and engine speeds. In order for regeneration to take place, a prolonged high exhaust temperature must be attained.

In the event of the car being driven in such a way that regeneration is not possible, i.e. frequent short journeys, a diagnostic trouble code will eventually be registered, DPF light and “Check Engine” indicator come on. A service regeneration can be requested in the workshop, using the diagnostic tool.

Before carrying out a forced DPF regeneration using the tool, check the following items:

 The fuel light is not on.  No DPF-relevant faults stored in system.  The vehicle has the correct spec engine oil.  The oil for diesel is not contaminated.

IMPORTANT

1. Before diagnosing a problem vehicle and attempting to perform an emergency regeneration, it is important to obtain a full diagnostic log and read out relevant measured value blocks.

2. The DPF will not regenerate if the engine management light is on, or there is a faulty EGR valve.

3. The ECU must be re-adapted when replacing the DPF and when topping up the fuel additive Eolys.

Page 71

4. All software screens shown in this manual are examples, and actual test screens may vary for each vehicle being tested. Observe the menu titles and onscreen instructions to make correct option selections.

5. If the vehicle needs to be driven in order to perform a DPF service, ALWAYS have a second person help you. One person should drive the vehicle while the other person observes the screen on the Tool. Trying to drive and observe the Scan Tool at the same time is dangerous, and could cause a serious traffic accident.

Take BMW as an example. Follow the steps below to do the tests.

1. Turn the ignition off.

2. Locate the vehicle’s 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC).

3. Plug the scan tool cable connector into the vehicle’s DLC.

11 BMS

The BMS (Battery Management System) allows the scan tool to evaluate the battery charge state, monitor the close-circuit current, register the battery replacement, activate the rest state of the vehicle, and charge the battery via the diagnostic socket.

NOTE

This function is not supported by all vehicles. The screens shown in this chapter are examples; actual test screens may vary for each vehicle being tested. Observe the menu titles and onscreen instructions to make correct option selection.

General Battery Information

The vehicle may use either a sealed lead-acid battery or an AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery. Lead acid battery contains liquid sulphuric acid and can spill when overturned. AGM battery (known as VRLA battery, valve regulated lead acid) also contains sulphuric acid, but the acid is contained in glass mats between terminal plates.

It is recommended that a replacement aftermarket battery has the same specifications, such as capacity and type, of the battery used in the vehicle. If the original battery is replaced with a different type of battery (e.g. a leadacid battery is replaced with an AGM battery) or a battery with a different capacity (mAh), the vehicle may require reprogramming the new battery type in addition to performing the battery reset. Consult the vehicle manual for additional vehicle-specific information.

NOTE

Reprogramming is not supported by the scan tool currently.

Battery Operation

The Battery function allows you to evaluate the state of the battery charging and register the battery replacement.

Take BMW as an example.
